Hello everyone, we´re in the desert!!!
We travelled north since the last time we wrote and now we´re in the Atacama desert in the north of Chile. We´re staying in a town called San Pedro de Atacama which is in an oasis in the middle of the desert. It´s so hot here but we´re being careful. The scenery is amazing, the Andes are in the background and the rest is just sand dunes for miles around...its beautiful. This is our first experience in a desert and its fanatstic!
We spent a couple of days in La Serena where we visited the Elqui Valley (you can see the photos now). The funny thing about La Serena was the weather, it would be cloudy all morning until about 1 or 2 o´clock and then slowly the sun would start to come out in the later afternoon...we were tricked by the clouds and managed to get a little burnt (but no too bad). We met an Italian couple here who both live in Dublin and now the four of us are in the desert do we have some new travel buddies for the next couple of days until we leave for Arica. We´ve nearly passed through the whole of Chile and it´s been amazing!! The scenery is so pretty here and the people very helpful...we´re doing well :)
We´ll be in Peru next week so we´ll update from there (how cool does that sound hehe). Hope you like the photos. Take care and lots of love. Las chicas xxx
